Useful reference material! (And: he's totally right about the Nikka).

Strictly speaking, "The Best of *American* Journalism", but there's lots on here I'd like to read sometime.

A nice round-up of the past decade in boardgames; one to return to.

"Everyone seems to be compiling lists of the best games of the decade, so here, with minimal special pleading or argumentation, is mine." Steven Poole's list is good, though two entries for the MGS series is one too many, IMHO. I'd swap one of them for something Harmonix-flavoured.

A little bit of nostalgia, a little bit of fact, a few reminders of the past. Especially the old Kit-Kat wrappers.

A pretty comprehensive list, I think.

Lots of good stuff in here I didn't know about, all for your DS, and all not illegal. Hurrah for homebrew.

"Cosmology is the girl that doesn't really date, but has lots of hot friends. Some people date cosmology just to hang out with her friends." Link of the day, no question. Funny, and just-right-enough to make it funnier.

365 free games - download or flash or otherwise - collected by the PC Gamer staff, and now free on Games Radar. Only looked at the first page, but there's loads of good stuff. I mean, it *starts* with Kenta Cho...

Mike Johnston, from the Online Photographer, draws up a list of books with notes for practicing photographers. Looks fantastic.

Definitely worth a read - some good picks, and some interesting ones too.
